Confirmed with Link: Hawks get pick #s 18 & 50 from NYI for pick #s 20, 54, & 61 (all in 2024)

[Blackhawkswincup]

Did I miss the announcement of draft being today?

Seriously odd timing/weird trade a month ahead of draft

Confirmed with Link: - Hawks move up to #18 in draft

Funny, I never saw that. Was it posted after this one?

Like 20 minutes before yours

I don't really understand this. We traded a very late second to slightly move up in the 1st and 2nd? This is a move you do when you know that a guy won't be available a couple picks later.

Where did it go? I refreshed before I posted the thread.

Okay.

Tbf we know roughly what names are going to be off the board for the top 17.

Macklin Celebrini
Anton Silayev
Ivan Demidov
Sam Dickinson
Cayden Lindstrom
Artyom Levshunov
Zayne Parekh
Zeev Buium
Tij Iginla
Beckett Sennecke
Berkly Catton
Carter Yakemchuk
Cole Eiserman
Konsta Helenius
Michael Brandsegg Nygard
Trevor Connelly
Liam Greentree

Arrange the order however way you want, but those are likely the top 17 names. Blackhawks are probably looking at a similar list on their end.

But like @Mrfenn92 said, I doubt it stops at 18. Strong possibility they package 18 to move up even further on draft day.

It makes a lot of sense if your list drops off at 18 players. Or if youve got another trade up conversation that you want to pursue but 20 was too steep a drop for the team. I’m eyeing the Buffalo and Philly picks.

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

Moving up now makes it easier to move up on draft day.

If it happens sure. It's just not something that happens very often.

 

[Pez68]

If it happens sure. It's just not something that happens very often.

Agreed. We will see. It's also possible the Hawks think a guy they like gets picked at 18 or 19.

 

[Taze em]

18 and 34 gets you to 9th overall. Let’s say comfortably to that 11/12. Not saying it’s realistic. Just what the chart says. I think falling Catton or Yakemchuk?

 

[Hattrick Kane]

I wonder if the Hawks have identified the second round as crap so they’re going ahead with trying go move up and get more quality prospects. There is supposed to be a massive drop off.

Could also add future seconds taking cap back in other deals

I doubt we’ll see much of that this year. Everyone has lots of cap space, I suspect they’ll just hold onto the bad deals instead of throwing picks away to dump them.

I'm eyeing that New Jersey pick at 10. That's a team that probably desperately doesn't want to miss the playoffs again. They'd be willing to do something hasty.

To Chicago:

-2024 1st round pick (10th overall)
-Jake Allen
-Nathan Bastian

To New Jersey:

-2024 1st round pick (18th overall)
-2024 3rd round pick (67th overall)
-2024 3rd round pick (72nd overall)
-Petr Mrazek
-Ryan Donato
-Lukas Reichel

Don’t see Jersey doing that at all

Jiricek would be the name that makes sense with your list (and most mocks) of a guy that could/should be there at 18 but not at 20. Dedimov and Jiricek would be a spectacular draft for the Hawks

 

[WarriorofTime]

This is a terrible trade.

 

[Malaka]

This is a draft day trade when somebody falls and you gotta get your guy. Weird it's a month out.

Davidson has the offseason f5 boredom curse that plagues us here

We get it you hate Reichel

Also Mrazek just signed extension. Hawks aren't going to trade him

 

[Kevin Musto]

New Jersey's biggest need is goaltending.

You don't pass on the chance to get the 10th overall pick because you just re-signed someone. Hockey is a business.

 

[JaegerDice]

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

I am gonna be honest

Unless there is something else coming this is pretty stupid trade

To give up a 2nd to move up 2 + 4 a month ahead of draft really makes no real sense

If this was draft day and guy you wanted was falling, understandable

This trade = Why now?

Again with Reichel....

Mods need to start handing out warnings to you about this.

 

[kmwtrucks]

you are going to have to slight over pay its very hard to move up in the first. On draft day lets say somebody slides. then NYI will not do the trade.
